Last night I got some vocals done!
Full lyrics and lead vocals are done for two songs: Valuation and Where She Keeps It (which I think will be renamed, not sure what yet). And some vocals are added to Tree. These are both kind of releasable as is (after some good mixing) but I'll want to add tracks to both to fill in some gaps and add some countermelodies here and there.
Tree is becoming kind of a headache: what I've done so far feels like the introduction to a much longer song but I'm not sure what should come next or how to go about making it happen. I'll have to ponder it while I do some yardwork today.
So I need to start 4 more songs. Let's review what I have and see what I need:
1) Slow, atmospheric, cool song (Where She Keeps It)
2) Moderate piano ballad (Valuation)
3) Pensive, percussion-heavy long, drawn-out moody (Tree)
4) I need something peppy and danceable (think The 1975 "Girls")
5) I need something hard and biting (think The Beatles "Taxman")
6) I need something soft and lonely (think Shawn Colvin's "If I Were Brave")
7) I need something quirky and fun (not sure what that feels like yet)
So maybe today I'll try to write a riff for #5 and some sort of groove for #4.
Almost halfway there!
